AANB Provincial 3D Program
TEAM NB

3D or FITA events are a rich part of archery's history. For years people have been competing at these events with the hopes of qualifying to shoot some of the most esteemed competitions:

• OLYMPICS
• WORLD TARGET CHAMPIONSHIPS
• WORLD FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS
• CANADIAN NATIONAL FIELD & TARGET CHAMPIONSHIPS
• CANADA GAMES
• AANB TARGET CHAMPIONSHIPS
• ATLANTIC TARGET CHAMPIONSHIPS
• IBO CHAMPIONSHIPS
• CANADIAN NATIONAL 3D CHAMPIONSHIPS
• AANB 3D CHAMPIONSHIPS

In order to support as many of our New Brunswick Archers as possible at all competitions, the AANB has developed the following strategy in hopes of developing a plan which will support our top Archers at all levels of archery competitions.

Purpose:

1. To encourage the development of proficient 3D or FITA Archers in New Brunswick
2. To develop a team approach whereby New Brunswick Archers work together to achieve success.
3. To support local Archery clubs by attendance at their 3D and FITA shoots.
4. To field a strong team for participation in the Canadian 3D, Field or FITA Championships.
5. To help provide funding for shooters dedicated to the Provincial Program and National competition.

Rationale

There are a number of items that are important to the growth of 3D and FITA Archery in New Brunswick.
1. Local clubs must continue hosting 3D and FITA shoots and they must be financially rewarded for the work they do.
2. We must make an effort to send the best possible Archers to the Nationals
3. While keeping this in mind we want to send Archers to the Nationals who are committed to 3D or FITA Archery and who will be good ambassadors for the AANB at National events.
4. We want to acknowledge the people who by their participation are supporting the local club shoots. We want the club shoots to be challenging enough to develop the skill levels of our shooters.
5. We want to use the funding available to its maximum benefit by sending the greatest number of shooters possible to the Nationals.

Team Membership Criteria

2. Team members must be in good standing with the AANB or be a member in good standing of an AANB affiliated club
